I make these tasty spuds quite often.
I could make 10lbs. and they would all get consumed.
And my recipe seems to change every time I make them though, all depending on what spices I happen to have in the cupboard at the time.
This is my recipe du jour.
You will need:
3-4 lbs. of potatoes, washed and cubed, like homefries
[Idaho, Russet, Red, Idaho Gold work well]
EVOO [extra virgin olive oil]
Butter [3-4 tbls, sliced]
fresh ground pepper
Cuban Seasoning [salt, sweet paprika, red pepper flake]
[seasoned salt or Olde Bay Seasoning work quite well, too]
Here’s what you do:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Use a decent size glass dish and add cubed potatoes.
Season potatoes with fresh grated pepper and Cuban seasoning.
[be liberal. Seasonings wise . . . ]
Sprinkle with 2-3 tbls of EVOO and place pats of butter over potatoes.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
[Make sure you have added enough olive oil so the potatoes don't stick.]
Remove foil and turn potatoes over with a spatula.
Bake for an additional 45-60 minutes, uncovered.
Enjoy.
ciao,
Dad
